  I have seen several "small-time" newsletters/digests that include
  an "ISBN" number.

  Which brings up two questions:

    1) Do you need one? If not, what are the advantages of having one
       (for a limited circulation publication)?

    2) How would you go about obtaining one?  If this involves the
       Library of Congress, does anyone have their address handy?

     Thanks in advance,
